San Diego State released its 2010 Mountain West Conference men's basketball schedule on Monday. The Aztecs, who won a school-record 26 games a year ago, will have 15 of their league contests televised by either VERSUS, CBS College Sports or The Mtn.

After opening at home, the Aztecs embark on a two-game road swing that will take them to Wyoming and UNLV. The tilt vs. the Cowboys is set for Saturday, Jan. 9, at 4 p.m. MT and will be televised by The Mtn. The game vs. the Runnin' Rebels, meanwhile, is scheduled for CBS College Sports with the day (Jan. 12 or 13) and time still to be determined.

The next seven dates on the schedule will feature a home-and-away feel starting with TCU visiting Viejas Arena for a Saturday (Jan. 16) night contest at 7 p.m. PT. The evening trend will continue with an 8 p.m. MT game at MWC regular-season tri-champion and MWC Tournament champ Utah (Tue., Jan. 19) and a 7 p.m. PT Saturday (Jan. 23) home game vs. tri-league champion Brigham Young.
